The chief minister Punjab, in the letter sent through his lawyer, had asked the PTI chief to apologise within 14 days, else the matter would be taken to court of law.

However, the chief minister did not tell what [further] legal action he intended to take against Khan [in case of constant lack of response from the PTI chief].

It should be recalled here that Khan had claimed to be offered Rs10 billion for staying silent on Panamagate case by one of the close aides of the chief minister Punjab.

He had reiterated that Rs10 billion was just the starting amount of the offer while claiming that the middleman was also offered Rs two billion on successful negotiations.

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders demanded Khan to disclose the name of the person who carried offer to him on which the PTI chairman had earlier stated that over disclosure of the name, the person could face the wrath of the rulers, as what he had said, the ruling party was not a democratic party but a group of fascists scapegoating others to safeguard their personal interests.
